LO rolling onto stomach

Does anyone else's LO (little one) roll onto her tummy during the night? My baby was doing this when swaddled arms in but we freed up here arms and she's started doing it again. She's done it once a night for this past week and I've woke up to her fussing and face down.

It's scares me! She is in halo bassinest, I think she wriggles to the side and keeps wriggling till she flips!

Anyone else experiencing this? How worried would you be? Perhaps time to transition to a larger crib? She's still small at only 9lb.

My girl flips to her side all the time when on her back. She even did it in the hospital.

Thankfully she doesn't do it when swaddled, at least yet. I put her on her play mat and she instantly flips to her side. If not swaddled during nap time she does it too.
We don't use a bassinet though. She is either in her pack and play or her crib. Maybe it's time for you to move her.

I was wondering that but I don't want to move her to her own room just yet and DH (dear husband) doesn't want to move the crib into ours, so we'd have to buy a travel crib or something for our room. Also I was hoping to get a little more use out of the bassinest since it's pricey :/

I read Swaddling should only be done till 2nd month because baby might roll . We stopped Swaddling our LO.

We are using the love to dream swaddle up where her arms are up and can move around. It's really more of a sleeping bag than a swaddle. I think she's so this even out of the love to dream, but maybe I should try without

Most swaddles say explicitly to not use them after baby can roll. I know you said you now free her arms, but it might be even that having her legs tucked in keeps her from anchoring herself on her back
